Often, someone can walk away from a Broward County car accident without even one scratch on their body. Looks are deceiving.

Regardless of the lack of physical injury sustained in an auto accident, many victims often suffer emotional and psychological trauma that can be debilitating. Individuals frequently express valid symptoms of depression, anxiety, and memory loss. Without having to wait for an autopsy, scientists are now able to view live detailed brain scans that reveal remarkable findings that reveal how the brain is affected by car accidents.

Emotional and psychological problems resulting from an auto accident are not imagined or exaggerated. Scientific research reveals there is proof to show the debilitating emotional trauma from car crashes.

Brain Scan Findings Reveal Psychological Trauma

Surviving a car accident can be a life-changing event that causes major trauma to the brain. Auto accidents are reported as the major cause of serious injury within the United States.

Brain scans reveal that when an individual is involved in a car accident, the trauma can actually change the function and structure of the brain that affect psychological stability. Scientific findings explain that car accident survivors often display emotional, social, learning, and developmental problems. Overall, the problems that typically evolve are similar to individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

It’s important to understand that the severity of the symptoms depends on how the individual experienced the accident. Everyone experiences and displays stress in a different way.
